Glass Minimum and Maximum Sizes
To determine the minimum and maximum sizes available for finished glass products, the glass processor must be consulted. Physical/mechanical capabilities and constraints of the fabricator will affect the final finished glass size availability.
Special considerations for oversized glass: IG and Heat Treatment
It’s important to understand that not all fabricators are equipped to process and / or heat-treat the sizes shown above. Minimum and maximum sizes are dictated by:
- The size of glass available from the primary manufacturer
- Any limitations in the fabricator’s equipment
- The capabilities of the contract glazier
- Availability of specialized shipping and handling equipment (particularly for oversize units)
- Specific glass type: (silk-screened, heat-treated, laminated, etc.)
